Three Houses But Still In The Same Place 1939 1960

A Memory of Thornton Heath.

My family lived in Marion Road and it was one of the houses destroyed by a V1. That was number 11. We lodged with friends and then moved into a 'prefab' number 9 but still had our old back garden plus that of old number 9 and half of number 13. After 9 years we moved to the larger type prefab at The Lawns while Marion Road was rebuilt, moving back again to flat number 11b. The old Lime tree, still standing today, was always just outside. Three houses and all we did was go upwards.
I was a Cub/Scout at St Albans and also sang in the choir.
